ABSTRACT

Domestic violence is an individual and social damage, which is affected by personality traits and can cause a crisis for the mental health of individuals; thus, the present study aimed to investigating personality traits and its impact on mental health of battered women in Tehran, 2013. In this cross-sectional study, 196 married women who referred to Tehran Legal Medicine Center in 2013 were selected based on simple sampling method, and then were studied based on General Health Questionnaire [GHQ-28] and the NEO Five Factor Inventory [NEO-FFI]. In this cross-sectional study, the data were analyzed with the Pearson Correlation Test using the SPSS-16.The present study revealed that statistically mental health has a significant and positive correlation with neuroticism personality trait [r=0.318, P<0.001], while it has a significant but negative correlation with extraversion personality trait [r=-0.280, P<0.001], agreeableness [r=-0.201, P=0.002], and conscientiousness [r=-0.265, P=0.001]. Although mental disorder on the part of battered women paves the way for violence against them, learning personality traits along with individual and social factors among women can significantly contribute to prevention, screening and necessary treatments by experts and authorities

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the reliability, validity and feasibility of the Persian version of the Pediatric Quality of Life inventory PedsQL[TM] 4.0 [TM] 4.0 Generic Core Scales in Iranian healthy students ages 7-15 and chronically ill children ages 2-18. We followed the translation methodology proposed by developer to validate Persian version of PedsQL[TM] 4.0TM 4.0 Generic Core Scales for children. Six hundred and sixty children and adolescents and their parents were enrolled. Sample of 160 healthy students were chosen by random cluster method between 4 regions of Isfahan education offices and 60 chronically ill children were recruited from St. Alzahra hospital private clinics. The questionnaires were fulfilled by the participants. The Persian version of PedsQL[TM] 4.0TM 4.0 Generic Core Scales discriminated between healthy and chronically ill children [healthy students mean score was 12.3 better than chronically ill children, P<0.001]. Cronbachs' alpha internal consistency values exceeded 0.7 for children self reports and proxy reports of children 5-7 years old and 13-18 years old. Reliability of proxy reports for 2-4 years old was much lower than 0.7. Although, proxy reports for chronically ill children 8-12 years old was more than 0.7, these reports for healthy children with same age group was slightly lower than 0.7. Constructive, criterion face and content validity were acceptable. In addition, the Persian version of PedsQL[TM] 4.0TM 4.0 Generic Core Scales was feasible and easy to complete. Results showed that Persian version of PedsQL[TM] 4.0[TM] 4.0 Generic Core Scales is valid and acceptable for pediatric health researches. It is necessary to alternate scoring for 2-4 years old questionnaire and to find a way to increase reliability for healthy children aged 8-12 years especially, according to Iranian culture
